Circle of Ancestors is supporting this great event !

Circle of Ancestors is so honored to support River Rose and dedicated Elder, Clan Mother Rachelle Figueroa, and the Sacred Staff of Unity for a special fundraising event to support the critical work of Morning Star Foundation (MSF), an indigenous Inter-Tribal organization dedicated to the preservation of Native/Indigenous people and their Traditions, Elders, and Ceremonies. We acknowledge the profound blessing of learning from and receiving the wisdom and/or medicine of Native/Indigenous and traditional elders who have made dedicated efforts to sustain and uphold ancient knowledge despite many threats throughout the course of history across the globe. This fundraiser gives us a practical opportunity to give back to some of our living elders and support the ongoing efforts to preserve and uphold indigenous peoples and their knowledge globally and especially across Turtle Island.

Join us for a workshop including a Listening Circle and Fire Ceremony with teachings and traditional song offered by Clan Mother Rachelle Figueroa, to raise funds towards the ongoing work of Morning Star Foundation. Do not miss this special opportunity to receive healing & pray with the Sacred Staff and support the necessary preservation of knowledge from traditional Elders on this very rare visit to the SF Bay Area! I have been blessed myself to sit with this Sacred Staff on several occasions now and can testify for the powerful healing of her presence. The Staff has been carried only by women since leaving El Salvador, and has been traveling around the globe to provide healing far and wide, and receive prayers from people from many corners of the Earth so far.

Clan Mother Rachelle is welcoming you to come with an open heart and an open mind! ♥
